Charles Souby is an author and improv actor based in Kapaa, Hawaii. A formal degree in English Literature from San Francisco State University provides a foundation for the past seven years of mentoring by San Francisco Chronicle bestselling author, James Tipton. A writer of diverse genre, he has recently completed his third novel, The Wild Revisited. Souby’s second novel A Shot of Malaria (Infinity Publishing; ©, April 2015) received strong critical praise. His poetry and short stories have been published in The Saturday Evening Post on-line, e-Fiction Magazine, 5 Poetry Magazine, The Opening Line, Bohemian Magazine and The California Quarterly Review.
Charles Souby is also an improvisational actor who graduated from BATS Improv in San Francisco and The Upright Citizen’s Brigade in Los Angeles. He has studied with the Groundlings and was the founder of an Improv Troupe, MarinProv, which performed in the Bay Area for four years. His exploration of narrative in these venues, along with his studies under Keith Johnstone (author of Impro), a master of narrative, propelled him to write his third novel based on solid research and his own personal experiences hitchhiking through Alaska and Northwest Canada.
